Nice picture Nelson!

FYI: The assistant manager at the Boutique at the Wynn in Las Vegas told me that the red on the Ali dial was inspired by the color of the boxing gloves but I don't know if that's really a fact or just an urban legend.

Hi,fact: The timepiece in the classic cockpit design comes with red, black and white contrasting highlights inspired by the apparel typically worn by Ali in the ring: red boxing gloves and white shorts with black stripes or vice versa. The attractive play of colours is taken up again in the strap: the outer surface is made of black alligator leather, while the lining on the inner surface is finished in extremely hardwearing red calfskin with white stitching.http://www.iwc.com/en-us/collection/pilots/IW500433/
